Q: Another topic is “Design-for-Testability for RF Circuits and Systems”—is this driven by new DFT capabilities in the RF realm? A: Yes, but it’s driven also by new needs. With wireless business ...

For thorough product testing and high test throughput, test engineers need to understand the basics of RF technology, what to test for, and which instruments are best suited for the job.

Berkeley Design Automation Inc has announced AFS RF (Analog FastSpice radio frequency), which Chief Operating Officer Paul Estrada calls the industry’s first true Spice-accurate noise-analysis tool ...

This diverse portfolio underscores the convergence of advanced calibration algorithms, adaptive chip-level techniques, and robust simulation frameworks in achieving power-efficient RF circuit designs.

Active inductors have emerged as a transformative component in CMOS radio frequency (RF) circuit design, effectively replacing traditional passive inductors with active semiconductor networks.

Both the performance and reliability of RF designs are closely linked to the layout implementation. Once the physical layout of a RF design is complete, and circuit implementation is validated with ...
